On Kivvit’s website, they discuss their work on nuclear energy advocacy, without specifically mentioning their contracts with NEI or NRECA.

Nuclear Matters Campaign

Kivvit highlights their campaign titled Nuclear Matters, where they “implemented a robust public affairs campaign, which includes advertising, sponsored event series, media relations, grasstops recruitment, third-party advocacy, and targeted social media engagement.” In a June 2014 campaign overview, Nuclear Matters is described as, “…a bipartisan campaign to engage and inform policymakers and the public about the need to preserve existing nuclear energy plants due to their critical role in America’s energy mix.”

While NEI holds the trademark for Nuclear Matters, it’s possible that NRECA is also involved. According to tax documents, over the years 2014, 2016, and 2017 NRECA had contracts with ASGK totaling $1.9 million and another contract in 2015 with Kivvit for $515,917. In 2017, NRECA lobbied on the bill H.R.1090: Technologies for Energy Security Act of 2017, raising the Nuclear Production Tax Credit as a key issue.

NRECA Campaign

Kivvit and ASGK have had consistent contracts with NRECA starting in 2014 and continuing into 2017, earning $2.5 million between the two firms. Kivvit created a series of videos for NRECA titled “NRECA: Rural Power.” The videos support NRECA’s Rural Power campaign, which is designed to encourage rural Americans to vote in elections. The ads show Rural Power campaigners attending both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump events.
